Only if they could be allowed to use a 5 - banger.

Ok so not Kia but Volvo!

Cammish has just dropped a photo on his race lid for Thruxton with all his personal sponsors painted on. Nothing unusual... Except for the huge Honda H logo above the visor. Maybe he's still getting some form of funding from them? I can imagine he would have a logo on it which didn't have to be.

'Power Maxed Racing Car Care Racing' changes to 'Adrian Flux with Power Maxed Racing'

With Volvo becoming a electric only brand it doesn't make sense to join BTCC.

Isn't that last year's lid? Presumably he's got a new one on the way for Porsches

which must mean that they are switching to Volvo now that their Honda partnership has finished.

Just saying

2021 BTCC. The helmet he ran last year and in Porsche testing is somewhat different.

Dan had a Roux Helmet deal in 2020 arranged by Matt , he’s going back to Stilo.which is currently in for painting so that is last years helmet with some doctoring for some new partners, The Honda badge is sprayed on.

[AnnoyedMoose]

If you look at the photos of his other helmet on his Instagram he has the Honda logo taped over when running the Porsche. Presumably as he is driving a Honda this weekend he didn't feel the need.

In a recent interview he was saying that engine parity is now closer than it's ever been and the issues with the car are more because it's an older model that isn't as aerodynamic as the newer model cars. So I guess that means they decided not to bother with the expense of a different engine.

After all a TOCA engine won the championship last season and with the new M-Sport engine out next year they probably decided it didn't make sense to develop their own at this stage.

I wish Laser Tools could find a way to make their Infiniti look less like a front-running club racing entry. Design wise it's more on the level of the Northern Saloon & Sports Car Championship than the BTCC.

Don't know what they were thinking with the random half-blacked out front end. The old black and blue Mercedes looked great but this one looks as if it was designed for another car.

[S griffin]

The BTC and WSR BMW liveries are the most recognisable from last year. Would say the Ginsters Hyundai, but that was with a different car and team

[Evantra]

I still like the Ciceley livery a lot, but it really doesn't work through the cameras.

I believe it was designed by BTCCBlueprints who were also responsible for the god awful two tone AMD MGs / Hondas. I believe they also did the MB Civics last year which weren't too bad (not sure if they did the Fords this year or not?)

[thetool]

Seems like they are behind the awful HARD Leon livery too.

[Sodemo]

It seems bonkers there is still no way to watch back qualifying. C'mon Alan, its 2021. Surely it can be uploaded to youtube or even BTCC.net?

It reminds of the hideous grilles on some current model Lexus, BMW and Audi. On the road cars in question I think they are hideous. A black paint job hides some of the **** design, but generally yuk.

So I guess the man with the crayons who did Lasers livery took inspiration from one of the above. Or they simply ran out of Dulux pure brilliant white!

They could power the lighting rigs for a Snetterton night race. Now where's the 2022 silly season thread when you need it...
